[zeromq-dev] Creating a malamute broker in process

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

Oh ok... I'm trying to find out how to start an actor.
I tried telling the broker what endpoint to bind on in source with:

  zstr_sendx(server, "mlm_server", "BIND", "endpoint", "tcp://*:9999",
NULL);

but that didn't quite work. I don't want to ship a config file, I only need
it to work within the unit test. Thanks so much for your help!
